Topic: Recommended stand for Noob? (Read 4235 times)

+1 on the gaff tape! I always keep a roll in my stand bag, along with a roll of velcro cable ties. A lot lighter than carrying sandbags. For shows in small clubs, I have rarely needed anything taller than the Nano, especially if people are generally seated. It is sturdy enough for a set of full body pencil condensers, bar and shocks, although I usually use an active rig.

Way more expensive than it should have been, but I got it for $100 when I worked at an AV company. It's hard to loosen the rings between the sections, and it's not cushioned, so be careful lowering it or you'll lose some skin from your fingers.

In short, get something else!

Good solid stand...that's a pain in the ass. I never liked this one, I can see why you recommend against it. My tall Bogen has clips, I love it!
